edwards was NOT kerry's 2nd choice

[sniffa]

he was the third according to the Lead editoriaL in today's boston heraLd - hiLLary being the 2nd. how can they get away with this shit? and mccain came out today to refute that taLking point but i'm sure it won't stop the meme.

aLso, the paper decries edwards as more LiberaL than kerry citing his opposition to the death penaLty. i thought edwards was in favor of the death penaLty? can anyone cLear this up for me?

and if you haven't read my earLier thread on the the LTTE's to today's heraLd, my rant is over here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x1939873

1. Maybe these idiots didn't watch the debates

But the last question of the last Dem debate prior to Super Tuesday made it pretty clear Edwards was strongly in the running.

2. This is a stupid talking point

Even if it somehow manages to sink in then so what? Edwards has an undeniable charisma and ability to connect with many voters, similar to Clinton. This does nothing to negate that.

3. Setting up the conspiracy.

See, if Hillary was a choice, and they can turn that rumor into a "fact" by saying it over and over, the Clinton Conspiracy Theorists can drag all of their old material out and use it on Kerry.

4. make that the 4th choice...

don't forget Gebhardt in the Post. that front page was no accident- it was meant to make it look like Kerry was confused and unsure about who to choose, right up to the last minute.

Edwards has had the job since before the primaries even started- The DLC has been in complete control all along.

5. Whatever ...

At least Kerry made his own choice. Bush* put Cheney in charge of selecting the best VP ... and Cheney chose himself!

6. More Karl Rove bullshit.

Perhaps someone should seek to remove Rove from the equation.
